Essay writing / academic skills Comrade 21-12-20 05:26:10 No.4166

Hey /e/Im a brainlet prole that recently got a scholarships to university, and Im wondering if there are any resources that you could recommend to improve general academic skills with an emphasis on essay writing. I've done a general scan for books and courses on libgen and TPB. But I wanted to get some advise with a left perspective. When I say brainlet I mean dyslexic and when I say prole I mean any unskilled job I can land (bar work, kitchen work, construction, etc.) My degree is in healthcare and administration.

Its a fence sitting degree that allows me to specialise during or take a masters/honors in nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, or go into medicine.

Thanks. Nice and easy-to-remember essay structure.

I recommend reading Writing without Teachers by Peter Elbow. I would upload it here but for some reason this is the only board where you can't post PDFs.

Comrade 21-12-20 05:26:11 No.4171

There is actually a book by the horror author Steven King, On Writing. I've seen lots of praise for it even by people who are not King fans and I also read that the advice in it is not specific to just writing fiction.

Part of good writing is simply writing a lot. The more you write, the more mistakes you will catch, and the more you will learn to recognize those mistakes before they happen. Writing a lot is all about developing good approaches and habits towards writing. I work in a science and I have atrociously unproductive habits towards writing and I found this short, easy-to-read book helpful.

I can't concentrate on writing. I'm not interested in writing novel but I'd like to write a few essays and yet I can't concentrate for shit. Any tips?

a good university should offer free writing workshops, either as an official program for the whole faculty, or as smaller, student-driven initiatives by individual departments. also, make friends with people in humanities degrees that involve a lot of technical writing - tutoring is essential to seriously improving your skills.

The academic writing style for undergraduates can be summed up with a few key points/

1: Never make any claim that you don't have a source for. Have references for everything.
2: Write from the third person impersonal perspective.

Fundamentally learning is an active process of engaging with material. While what you say is true, some stupid 18 year old kid isn't going to understand the point without putting the work in to understand it. Much like people who think someone elses notes are a good cope for actually reading a book.
